🏠 Help Bring a New Housing Option to Westmoreland County!

We’re exploring the Shared Housing and Resource Exchange (SHARE) Program — and we need your input!

The SHARE Program connects homeowners (often older adults) with individuals seeking housing to create mutually beneficial living arrangements. These shared housing matches may include shared expenses, help around the home, or both — promoting stability, affordability, and meaningful connection.

Your feedback will help us determine whether this program is a good fit for our community.

📋 If you are interested in seeing SHARE come to Westmoreland County, please take a few minutes to complete this quick survey:
🔗 https://forms.gle/c7H6n6nGyvsemcNa8

🗓 Please submit your feedback by May 29th.

Program Requirements:
✔ Participants must be 18 years or older
✔ One participant must be 60 years or older

This is an opportunity to expand safe, affordable housing options while strengthening community connections across generations.

Together, we can explore innovative housing solutions for Westmoreland County.
